Happy Friday!
This week was the first full week of Me Made May, and I think I managed to wear something handmade almost every day this week. The weather here has been unexpectedly cool, so I even got to put a few sweaters into the rotation before they get packed away for the summer, tucked into their bins and awaiting the fall and its golden days.
This week:
- We switched up our eating habits a little bit and it felt pretty great not to eat sandwiches every day.
- I took a chance on an old website and managed to find an embroidery kit out of stock most places in my hands by Friday and ready to be stitched into something amazing.
- I committed to sewing some masks for students that I work with and braved the curbside pick up at two craft stores.
- I slept really well.
- I started a new project that’s been on my heart and mind for, oh, years! I can’t wait to share more.
- I discovered a vine growing on my window made it to the inside and I’m temporarily counting it as a new plant baby.
- I started sewing a dress.
- We went on a walk near our neighborhood and picked some wildflowers.
- I watched my cats continue to snooze their lives away.
- I remembered the amazing excitement of stash diving.
- We drank pour-over coffee almost every day.
- I caught up with a dear friend.
All things considered, not a bad week at all. I hope you are doing well and have lots of wonderful things on deck. And happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there (especially mine)!
